This is very true! Sigh ... and today, I am not goofing off, am
moving boxes getting ready for some remodeling ... and my
studio/laundry room is packed with stuff that I have to joggle
around before there is room to paint again.

LPChallenge warm-up

Airport Windows (tentative title)

Think I am still working on this a bit.

I found a group formed called Limited Palette Challenge on fb.

We can only use:

1. White

2. Black

3. Cadmium Yellow Medium

4. Ultramarine Blue

5. Alizaron Crimson

I have joined and will try some paintings!

While waiting on an order of 8 x 8 canvases, which should be in my hands soon - thought I'd do a sketch of one of my photos and possibly do a painting. This particular photo was actually a reflection caught while waiting at the Austin, TX airport. I turned the photo upsidedown to sketch. 

It brings to mind Mondrian.

Here is the beginning of my second "zoom-in" painting.

It is a cropped portion of the painting

Can you guess?

Zoom In #1

My idea to "just keep painting" (that I hear in my head every day) is to zoom in 

on a famous painting and paint that little section of it. 

Many people will most likely realize who the famous painter was/is, 

but it will be a fun and interesting challenge for all involved!
